Get it good and clean. Scuff it up with super fine steel wool. wash it with alchohol , let dry. Spray black paint it. Scuff that with steel wool. Spray a second coat and rescuff with steel wool.

Build the rod.
Apply finish to threads.

After rod is all built , wax with a polymer car or boat wax. You should be all set. Don't wax the blank until you are done with all finsihing on the threads.
